The 64th Annual Emmy Nominations were announced this morning by Kerry Washington and this year’s host, Jimmy Kimmel. The list is comprised of many usual suspects, but contains some newcomers as well, such as HBO’s ‘Girls‘ and ‘Veep,’ which Adam wrote about a while back as “must watch femedies“. Although I haven’t been watching all of the episodes, I have watched some and love both of these new series.

Leading the pack in terms of nods are ‘Mad Men‘ and ‘American Horror Story,’ each receiving an impressive 17 nominations each. Is it weird that I was expecting to see ‘Revenge‘ on the list somewhere? It was one of my favorite shows this year, but perhaps it’s to “soap opera” for the Emmys. Nominated for “Best Drama” is ‘Breaking Bad,’ which admittedly I only just started watching this week (Season 1 of course) with Tyrell and I’m hooked.

The Emmy Awards air live on Sunday, September 23 on ABC. For now, check out the nominations below to see if your favorite comedies, dramas, reality shows, and actors/actresses made the list. Share your thoughts in the comments!

How on earth is Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution nominated!? The show did nothing to attack the source of obesity and terrible food at our schools and instead engaged in self righteous attacks on cafeteria ladies. Nothing on budgets, nothing on government subsidies, nothing. But I digress. Anyway, it was a terrible show and is the furthest thing away from deserving a nomination.

Betty White was nominated for Best Reality Show Host? THis convinces me that voters just check off names that sound familiar. Betty is taking RuPaul’s spot, he is by far one of the best reality competition show hosts out there. Moreover, RuPaul’s Drag Race deserves a nomination for Best Reality Competition Show. It deserves to be there on its own merit, but I just can’t hold my tongue when you’ve had an extremely weak season of Project Runway and Top Chef: Texas and they’re still nominated?! It boggles my mind. You can tell they don’t even bother watching. Mark my words, “and the Emmy goes to…The Amazing Race.” for the millionth year in a row. They don’t even try.

I would go into a rant on how “Liberal” Hollywood is extremely homophobic and afraid to nominate anything that truly disturbs social norms, but I’ll let you enjoy Modern Family.

Minor quibbles: I wish Justified and Timothy Olyphant could have been nominated, but Best Drama and Best Actor were really though categories this year, so I can’t really complain. Madeleine Stowe could have been a contender for Best Actress, but again, tough category (though… Kathy Bates in Harry’s Law?). But I will roll my eyes on Downton Abbey now being a nominee for Best Drama when it was a Best Miniseries nominee last go around.
